"Oi Xavi, stop poncing about, go long... hit the channels, you f*****g girl's
blouse"
Never one to hide his light under a bushel, West Ham boss Sam Allardyce has eased Hammers fans
fears by reiterating that, despite being linked to the England job (a tiny bit), he is still fully
focused on his job at Upton Park.
...well that's according to our favourite newspaper the Daily Mail anyway!. Being a Chelsea fan,
hardly a day goes by without reading a ridiculous headline from this lot as they look to fill their
pages and websites with headlines to grab peoples attention with little basis for the story!.
In this instance, they claim the following:
Chelsea face a battle to keep Daniel Sturridge after Arsenal took significant steps
towards a shock summer swoop.
With matters outside of football keeping Roman Abramovich busy, it was great to hear that he was at
Cobham to see the players train on Saturday, to see AVB for a chat about things and to attend the
game on Sunday. Roman even popped in to chat with the players for 30 minutes after the 3-3 draw
with United.
Viteslea Lavicka is leaving!
Well is he leaving or was he dumped? Guess it doesn't matter.
Has a manager in Australia, in Sydney, ever been given such an easy ride.
The media in Australia all write and tweet about the guy being a lovely bloke but what about his
coaching, how will he remembered?
What a load of rubbish! Arsenal supporters are planning to put black bin-bags over empty seats
during Saturday's match against Blackburn to highlight dwindling attendances at the Emirates. One
point from their last four games has seen the Gunners drop to seventh in the table. A protest group
is now aiming to draw attention to [.
I'll always remember the first game of football I ever went to: I was aged six; the location was
Aggborough in Kidderminster as the Harriers took on Aston Villa in Graham Allner's testimonial. It
was a few years before I was ever introduced to top flight football at Villa Park or First Division
football at Molineux.
There was some fond hope that the man handcuffed to the goalpost was making a grandiose
statement about the unholy sums of money destroying football (read City). Or maybe he had tried
handcuffing himself to a badger the previous evening with unsatisfying results and wanted something
different.
They think they're experts. They think we think we're the experts. "He's rubbish!" they say. And
us, the good ones we think to ourselves are summoned by our blind loyalty rational
thinking to reply: "but he's good ... give him time." And we repeat this until we get
exhausted.

I don't know if you've noticed, but January has been pretty awful so far. We've lost all three of
our league games, and we've gone back to our old habit of throwing away leads. United swept us
aside with an ease that was almost saddening, given how massive the games between the two clubs
used to be.

With Palace going into the game with a 1-0 aggregate lead courtesy of centre-back Anthony
Gardner, Cardiff levelled the score after just 7 minutes through Palace centre-back Anthony Gardner
who somehow got his head down lower than his own feet to power a header past Julian Speroni and in
off his own post.
It's always nice to know that people read your work, and when they do they take it to heart.
Clearly, Pablo Hernández has a good understanding of English and reads The Offside, because just
days after I called him rubbish and whatnot, he put on a blinder of a performance against Levante
in the Copa del Rey.

All of a sudden and as unlikely as it may seem, Forest's Robbie Findley finds himself with some
strong competition for the 'rubbish miss of the day' honours in the guise of Zenit striker Danny
who really fnarked things up against Bunyodkor in the 2012 Dubai Matchworld Cup last night.
It's all too easy to point the finger when a striker isn't finding the net but you can be sure
that the newspapers won't shy away from targeting criticism towards a misfiring centre forward.
Step forward the Guardian who are aiming a lot of flak in the direction of Emmanuel Adebayor.
The report suggests that the Togolese has simply ‘gone off the boil' and part of the story
states,
‘Gradually, Adebayor's form has dipped – he has scored once in the past seven league
matches – and even though he found the net against Wolves only to have the goal disallowed for a
debatable offside, this was perhaps his most ineffective game of the season as he continually found
himself in the wrong place and the wrong time.
Robbie Slater has taken Craig Foster to task over Fozzie's article/analysis of Melbourne Victory's
Coaching appointment.
Fozzie's article is intelligent, well thought out and something we need in this country - even if
you don't agree with it's sentiment.
It adds to our football intelligence, it makes us think.
Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho is ready to offer Luis Suarez an escape from his Liverpool nightmare
reports the Daily Mail.
According to reports in Spain, the La Liga giants will offer £30million in a bid to bring the
Uruguayan international to the Bernabeu this month.
Mourinho is hoping to take advantage of the furore currently surrounding the Liverpool striker,
after Suarez was banned for eight games following an alleged race row with Patrice Evra.
As per usual the standard crazy transfer talk is in full swing in line with the opening of the
January transfer window.
Demba Ba has been linked with Man United, with his agent claiming that this is complete rubbish.
Interestingly, there is a release fee in his contract and so if a club bids this amount then Ba is
allowed to begin talks regarding a move.

Guardian: Kenny Dalglish: It's rubbish to say Liverpool are not fighting
racism
• Luis Suárez T-shirt stunt was 'interpreted wrongly' • Liverpool 'will always support'
battle against racism Kenny Dalglish has said that it is "utterly rubbish" to suggest that
defending Luis Suárez against racism accusations showed Liverpool are not interested in fighting
racism.
Surely the media have something else better to do than to make up total rubbish to put to print to
attract readers to their articles. I admit, from time to time the right headline grabs attention
but in doing that, you have to have a basis and substance to engage the person reading your article
to remain interested in it, not to dis-regard it within the first couple of lines.

That's it, keep it on the ground son, you're rubbish in the air
Scottish football is often criticised for its lack of technical quality and while this view is
often unfair, Aberdeen's Robert Milsom did little to silence the critics on Monday in the Dons' 2-1
win against Dundee United.
Carlo Ancelotti is set to take over as PSG coach after he was flown into the French capital to
discuss a possible deal that would see him coach the mega rich Ligue 1 side.
The former AC Milan and Chelsea coach was among the people considered for the top job after
reports arose claiming that current coach Antoine Kombouare was dismssed.
I've been banging the drum about the need for new signings for a while now, so I suppose it's time
for me to actually come up with a few suggestions. I'm going to stick to players I've actually seen
play - a revolutionary concept on the internet, I know.

I suppose this is just worthy mentioning briefly, if nothing else because it's not going to happen.
'Tis the season, for snatching a stocking full of points at White Hart Lane.
Hey, it's that guy
Man. This is kind of big, huh?
Win, lose or draw in Wigan over the weekend, this match with Tottenham was always going to be a
pivotal one. Not that matches with Spurs aren't always showcase events, but this season the derby
seems to be taking on a bit more weight with both clubs in the pursuit of Champions League football
for 2012-13.
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish believes his team were good value for their 2-0 win at Aston Villa
in the Premier League.
First-half goals from Craig Bellamy and Martin Skrtel sealed a comfortable success for Dalglish's
team at Villa Park.
Luis Suarez also hit the woodwork twice after the break as the Reds dominated proceedings against a
toothless Villa missing strikers Darren Bent and Gabriel Agbonlahor.
Got, Not Got: Mark Hateley magnetic marble refuses to play the game
Not only was Mark Hateley's dad the subject of the finest ever punk-rock football song "Where
Have You Been Lately, Tony Hateley", by the Disco Zombies the towering, bemulleted centre-fireworks
also carved quite a career in his own right.
‘Oh, is there a match on darling?' It's sweet of Adriana to sound even vaguely excited on my
behalf.
It's the first time today that I've thought about football. I've known for a while that I would
be working late so I put it to one side, and anyway sitting next to Adriana for the afternoon's
meeting is distraction enough.
Just like I said yesterday, AVB has come out and rejected claims made by the media the other night
that
Chelsea were prepared to listen to offers of around £20m for Fernando Torres.
He said:
"It's not true, he is not available at any price.
Everybody wants to be involved all the time but Fernando is pushing for a place with Didier
Drogba.
Believe it or not, it seems as though David Villa has been put up for sale by Barcelona after he
has fallen out of favour at the Nou Camp and epecially falling out with Lionel Messi.
On this report here on ESPN, it seems that leading Spanish Paper "
Marca" believe that Villa
could be heading to England with Chelsea and Liverpool debating whether or not to make a move for
the Spanish striker.
Last night news broke that Chelsea will be willing to listen for offers of around £20m for
Fernando Torres in January as long as someone can match his reported £150K per week wages. The
story continued that Chelsea had already put the feelers out around Europe amongst the elite to see
if anyone wanted to take him.

The stocking stuffer display's have come out big and bad in the past week. Can't figure out
what to get your family and friends this year? Or do you want to make the special recipient feel
incredibly awkward in front of a large crowd?
Well, three professional footy clubs have just what you're looking for.
Watch video proof that Justin Bieber is better than Fernando Torres!
When it comes to music, MirrorFootball usually subscribes to the opinion that there are only two
types: good and bad. However, we're willing to make an exception for Justin Bieber and invent a
third category: f***ing rubbish.
Arsenal only managed to win 1-0 over Everton this weekend and it was thanks to the usual Van Persie
winning goal, but the Dutchman was not happy with his own performance and thought that his finish
was just lucky! He said: "It wasn't a great game in my opinion, especially from myself as too often

Kenny Dalglish insists his Liverpool players have not been distracted by off-field issues while
preparing for Saturday's visit of QPR.
The Reds' 11-match unbeaten run ended in controversial circumstances on Monday night as Jay
Spearing was sent off during a 1-0 defeat at Fulham and, after the match, Luis Suarez allegedly
made an offensive gesture to the crowd.
3PM Extra: Watch Eboue do a Messi, THAT Lyon performance and wink and brilliant El
Clasico ad
Presenting quality football videos from the interweb, daily at 3pm. Here's today's collection:
1) Remember Arsenal outcast Emmanuel Eboue? You know the one who was hounded out of the Emirates
for being a bit rubbish?
As we all know AVB is planning a
clear out starting in January and continuing next summer
after the club confirmed that transfer requests have been accepted from
Alex and
Nico
Anelka. Over the weekend stories also broke that AVB is prepared to listen to offers for
Drogba, Kalou, Bosingwa and Ferreira.
Well I have to say it's rubbish if you ask me. I know Frank Lampard was taken off during the game
yesterday at Newcastle, and didn't look happy about it but I believe it was with Valencia in mind
on Tuesday.
All of a sudden now, we are hearing ridiculous reports that Lampard will be offered to Spurs as
part of deal of Luka Modric!
Barney's VersionArmed with some rubbish questions from EFW and some gems of her own, Lizzy Ammon clicked the

The interminable dancing and utterly pointless cavalcade of 'together as one' yadda yadda
yadda-ing is finally over, the new Adidas Tango matchball has been rolled out and looks
glorious (more on that later) and, as an aside to the entire carnival of shite, UEFA's
all-important balls of destiny have been drawn from the hat of fate in Kiev.
